ABOUT THIS ALBUM

Album Notes

These are the original recordings of the first songs I ever wrote. Some are recordings of the first time I've ever played a new song. Shortly after releasing this, I invested in recording equipment capable of producing high-quality tracks. Yet, the people who most appreciate my work unanimously prefer these recordings. Why? I am only beginning to understand; meanwhile, I aspire to bring the rawness of these original recordings to the professional studio. For an example of this ideal executed beautifully, check out the studio recording of Voodoo Child by Jimi Hendrix.

"Just For You" is a grand start for a brilliant young songwriter/performer. Mike Elias has a tender warm feeling in his music, with a rawness reminiscent of Bob Dylan. As he grows artistically, I look forward to hearing what he has to offer to the world from his perspective.
